It can be annoying.

I bought a new blouse LOL

Have you tried the new coconut macaroons LOL

I'm having pasta for dinner LOL

and so on

Banging it onto the end of sentences that are not, in fact, laugh out loud funny is just odd. I suppose they might think it makes them seem friendly, happy people?

Context is all.

Prefer roffle. But I like a good 'snort' or 'snigger' too in their place.

It annoys me too although strangely not when I when someone uses it in response to a particularly witty post I've made

Lol at tenalady!

I use the term lol in RL now, in an ironic way. So I'll say to dp in a sarcastic manner, "it was so funny, we literally lolled" or something equally amusing.
